That is one dubious God. A God that works so mysteriously so as one cannot even distinguish what it does, might as well not be there at all in my opinion. Furthermore, praying to such a God sounds about as reliable as what one should expect from trying the remedies offered by homeopathy. I don't understand how so many people seem to willfully mistake their unreliable intuition that correlates with coincidence with divine intervention or miraculous cures derrived from deluded mineral water. Ironically, if I did I rain dance, and it rained, such individuals would likely have no problem shifting gears to point out the oversight in my attributing such correlation with causation. It's mind boggling.
